Earning His Princess

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Jax wakes up in bed alone. Rubbing his eyes, he looks around the room and sees all of my things gone. Looking at his hand, he sees the wedding band and smirks. Getting up, he gets dressed and sees the marriage license on the dresser and folds it, putting it into the inside pocket of his kutte. Walking out to his bike, he heads to the SAMNEV clubhouse to meet up with his brothers.

Pulling up to the clubhouse, Opie is sitting outside on one of the picnic tables, smoking. Jax walks over and sits next to him, lighting his own. "Fun night?" Opie asks and Jax smirks and says "Eventful." Opie looks at him confused and he takes the marriage license out and shows it to Opie. "Holy shit. Congrats brother." as he pats Jax on the back. "Thanks." Jax says. "Where is she?" Opie asks. "Don't know. Snuck out on me." Jax says and Opie starts laughing. When he finally stops laughing, he says "We can get Lowen to get you out of it when we get back." Jax shakes his head and says "What if I don't want out?" Opie looks at him confused and he says "Look, all I'm saying is just that little time I was with her, I was relaxed. I wasn't stressing about club shit or Tara or Wendy. I was finally calm, clear headed." Jax says. "You're mom's gonna shit." Opie says. "Don't I know." Jax says.

Getting back to the clubhouse in Charming, the guys head into church. Once it's done, Juice heads to his dorm and Jax follows him. "Juice, wait up." Jax says. Juice turns to him and he says "I need a minute." Juice nods and leads Jax into his dorm. When the door is closed Juice asks "What's up?" Jax sits in the desk chair and Juice sits on the bed. "I need you to find someone for me but I need it kept between us." Jax says. Juice looks at him confused and Jax says "This doesn't leave this room." and Juice nods. Jax takes the marriage license out of his pocket and hands it to Juice and his eyes go wide. "Holy shit." Juice says. "Yeah." Jax says. "So you want me to do a background check or something?" Juice asks. "Nah. I need to find her." Jax says and when he sees the look on Juice's face, he says "She snuck out on me and never said where she lived." Jax says and Juice nods his understanding. "Give me just a little bit." Juice say and Jax nods and leaves him to it.

An hour later, Juice comes out and sees Jax sitting on one of the picnic tables. Walking over, he hands Jax a piece of paper and Jax nods his thanks. Opening the paper, he sees an address and heads to his bike, smile on his face.

I am sitting on my couch, glass of wine in hand, staring at the ring on my finger that I still haven't taken off when I hear a bike pull up. Thinking it's at the neighbor's house, I take another drink of wine when I hear a knock on my door. I move to the door and look through the peephole and see Jax standing there. I open the door and see him standing there smiling. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Wanted to talk." he says. I move to the side and let him in before closing the door.

We walk over to the couch and sit down and he asks "Why'd you sneak out?" I don't look at him but say "It was better that way Jax." He looks at me and asks "Better how?" I shake my head and say "Look at you Jax. If it weren't for us being drunk and my friend pushing you on me, you never would have looked twice at me. I have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow to start the annulment." I tell him. "I don't want that." he tells me. "What? Why wouldn't you?" I ask confused. "Look, that night was the first time in I don't know how long that I've been with a chick and not been stressed out or pissed off. I was finally calm and feeling clear headed." he tells me. "Jax, I can't." I tell him. "Why not?" he asks. "You remember that night, when I said I just ended a really shitty relationship?" I ask. "Yeah." He says. "If you knew the details, you wouldn't still be sitting here." I tell him. "Talk to me." He says concerned and I stand up. "You should go." I tell him. He doesn't move. I walk to the door and open it. "Please." I say softly. He walks over to me and puts his hand on my cheek and kisses the other cheek before whispering "I'm not letting you go." before walking out the door and to his bike. He backs out of the driveway and I stand there watching him leave before the tears start to fall.
